What is the inactive from of the enzyme pepsin?
The inactive form of pepsin is called pepsinogen.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Why it is so that pepsin enzyme will not act if its active site is occupied by carbohydrate molecules?
The carbohydrate molecule should not get fitted into the pepsin enzyme.
What is the enzyme for a protein substrate?
Pepsin and Protease
What kind of chemical is pepsin?
It's an enzyme
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
food acted up on by the enzyme for pepsin
What is the inactive from of the enzyme pepsin?
The inactive form of pepsin is called pepsinogen.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
What are the enzymes produced in the stomach?
The main enzyme in the Stomach is Pepsin which is used to digest protein. Only protein digestion occurs in the stomach and almostt no absorption, (only a little alcohol). This protein is not secreted as its active form (ie not as pepsin) but as the Zymogen (the inactive precursor to proteins) Pepsinogen which cleaves in a low pH to form the active enzyme.
Which cells secrete Pepsin?
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme released by the chief cells in the stomach. It breaks down proteins into smaller fragments to prepare the body for digestion.
Is pepsin a protein enzyme?
yes
Is pepsin a digestive enzyme?
Yes, it is.
What enzyme digest protein?
Pepsin
